Edinburgh leisure centre to close next month
Edinburgh Leisure has confirmed that it will be withdrawing its management from the city's Queensferry Recreation Centre at the end of the month.
Efforts to safeguard the future of the facility and to secure an alternative operator have failed, more than a year after Edinburgh Leisure decided to cease management of the venue. Edinburgh Leisure director of customer services Neil Brown said: "EL has held several public meetings on this subject since April of last year, while seeking alternative operators of this facility.
"Unfortunately no formal approach has been made at this time and EL expects to return the facility to the control of the Council at the end of this month."
